The correct answer is: General Sir Arthur Currie

General Sir Arthur Currie is hailed as Canada's greatest soldier for his achievements as the first Canadian army commander to lead the Canadian Corps in World War I. He was known for his strategic planning, innovative tactics and leadership skills which were instrumental in Canadian victories, including the Battle of Vimy Ridge. All the other options were important and notable Canadian soldiers, but they were not considered as "the greatest" in terms of overall accomplishments and impact in Canadian military history. Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae was a physician, poet, and Lieutenant Colonel in World War I, known for writing the famous "In Flanders Fields" poem. Major General William Griesbach was a renowned Western Canadian soldier in World War I and a Member of Parliament. Brigadier General William Barker was a Canadian flying ace in World War I, known for being the most decorated war hero in Canadian history.
